Laura Hamilton WAXMAN | SERIES MADE SIMPLE,  Apr 01, 2015

Highly recommended, especially where current biographies, particularly of those involved in STEM careers, are needed and requested; strong supplemental reading for science classes, too.
Six (three women and three men) contemporary scientists, engineers, and inventors are featured in this set that capitalizes on the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics objective of today's curriculums. Superficial overviews touch on childhood, education, and the subjects' breakthrough accomplishments. A colorful, easy-to-read format features photos and "tech talk" sidebars with quotes from the "trailblazers" themselves. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers the following STEM Trailblazer Bios titles: GoPro Inventor Nick Woodman, SpaceX and Tesla Motors Engineer Elon Musk, Theoretical Physicist Brian Greene, Aerospace Engineer Aprille Ericsson, Computer Engineer Ruchi Sanghvi, and Genetics Expert Joanna L. Kelley.

These will successfully fit the bill for those in need of easy-to-read biographies.
This biography for new readers highlights the iconic African American baseball player in stilted (though easy to digest) text that does not provide the depth of understanding required to appreciate his accomplishments. Large well-chosen photographs in an expansive page design add most of the interest; an appended timeline basically repeats the main text. Glos., ind.
